But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Great are You Lord, and greatly to be praised, I will bless Your name forever and ever. One generation will praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts. Lord You have radically changed all those who have come to repentance and will transform those who are yet to come to the saving knowledge of Your loving sacrifice, so we may be Your special people to proclaim praises of You. May we not dim the Light within us in order to avoid offense. Father empower Your children to not compromise Your truth, Jesus is the only way to You. It is such a beautiful gift, Your plan of salvation, when striving ceases and pride falls because Your love endures to the end of the ages. You Jesus have made a way for all to come to the Father, whether, slave or free, rich or poor, or of any nationality assembling us together as Your Holy Nation. Father may we be blessed with boldness that comes from sincere love to lead people out of darkness into Your marvelous Light. Your Light that never goes out, continually illuminating Your truth teaching us the way to walk the narrow road straight into eternal life. Father forgive us for the times we were timid and hide our faith from the world around us, fearing the mocking or persecution. We were once a people without hope, but Jesus You tore the veil and made a way, so may we rejoice as we serve You our great High Priest. May we serve You with our lives as living sacrifices, to love mercy do justly and walk humble with You. May we set about zealously to do every good work, taking care of the widows and orphans, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and visiting the prisoners. Jesus may Your love abound in Your children more and more. In Your name I pray, Amen.
